toshiba 55 inch lcd panel free sample

Toshiba Visual Solutions Corporation and its subsidiaries ceased to be the subsidiaries of Toshiba Group on February 28, 2018. they will continue to develop, sell, and offer repair and support services for Toshiba and REGZA-brand visual products.

First to determine if your Toshiba TV was manufactured in 2015 or later look on the TV Model label located on the back of your television for the manufacture date. The label below illustrates how to find the manufacture date (outlined in red).

An additional way to determine if your model is a 2015 or later TV look on the back of the original remote that came with your TV and if you see the phone number 855.527.2411 as in the example below:

As we stated above, the stand is a large piece of obtrusive plastic. It is a blown up version of what you see on smaller Toshiba models. The scale required to make the stand from a 32"" television support a 55"" television does not translate well. On top of this, the neck on this plastic Goliath is totally static. Getting at the ports will be hard, you will need a young, able-bodied worker with a back strong enough to lift this humungous display and turn it around.

All of these comparable LCD models have a similar peak brightness. Any TV producing more than 300 cd/m2 is bright and will be more than suitable for any room in your house, regardless of the lighting situation. More on how we test peak brightness.

We noticed a very even uniformity on the , both on all-white and all-black screens. With LCD models, we sometimes see the backlighting making uneven cloudy patches in these situations. CCFL backlighting, when done correctly, can produce a more even picture than LED lighting (especially edgelighting) because the tube lights behind the display are distributed all along the screen, rather than placed just along the edges or in clusters.

We record the luminance of every value of each of the primary colors on a 0 to 255 brightness scale and reproduce it in these gradient color strips below, matched against the ideal response. These strips are visual representations of the color curves above.

This Toshiba showed excellent retention of detail in motion. Faces were fully recognizable and tight lines remained separate and intricately rendered. Only a few colors, red particularly, had some minor drag to them, leftovers of the previous frame. We saw that some of the rectangles we move would sport some jagged edges, but this was a minor problem. Mostly, motion performance was a boon for the . More on how we test motion performance.

This Toshiba displays natively at 1080p, and very well at that. If you make sure to set the aspect ratio to Native, the will be rid of any overscan at any resolution. We saw not a single problem displaying high frequency, high contrast patterns (tightly knit lines of black and white that are difficult for most televisions) at this resolution. More on how we test resolution scaling.

This Toshiba was advertised as having a wide viewing angle in the marketing specs. We beg to differ. In fact, we tested viewing angle twice because our first set of data was not very believable, though the proximate results were approximately the same. LCD screens tend to have poor viewing angles, but you can see in the chart below that the has a narrow viewing angle, even in relation to comparable models.

The stand on this 55-incher is totally static. If you like picking up a giant television, with the possibility of tipping such a hefty investment over, then you will be happy with this Toshiba. Otherwise, you will find making connections difficult, as all the ports are on the back and there is no way to get at them without wrenching your back.

The speaker hardware Toshiba provides for the isn"t strong enough for quality sound playback. Two 7W speakers are less powerful than what most HDTVs provide, even on 32"" models.

When we played some video of New York being destroyed by an appropriate amount of explosions and machine gun fire, we noticed that the sound was canned and tinny. Coming from 55-inches of television, the sound of automatic rifles reproduced at the level of a dime store cap gun was almost laughable. Grab some external speakers and you will have a great home theater.

The USB media port on this Toshiba only supports playback of pictures and music, and only MP3s and JPEGs. These are popular formats for this type of media, but more and more MP3s are being phased out because they are low quality. MP3 was great in the days of dial-up internet, but now that we have broadband, the M4a file, like what you get from iTunes, is more popular.

Looking at all the models in this chart, it would seem like the costs much more than an ordinary LCD screen for an average year of use. When you consider that this Toshiba is a 55"" television, approximately 10"" larger than the others, resulting in about 1.5 times the total screen area, you can see that quite a bit more power should be required to light this significantly larger display. Even so, the is reasonably in line with the rest, showing that it consumes an average amount of power for an LCD.

Both of these televisions had problems with color temperature. Our money goes with the Toshiba, showing a larger error, yes, but secluded to the darkest part of the spectrum. The Toshiba also had better color curves than this LG, for overall better color accuracy.

We really liked the motion processing on this particular Toshiba model. The LG had great motion capabilities as well, allowing user control over the processing, but it just was not as strong. We will say that being able to control the processing is of greater value than overall performance because, on full blast, any film based content will look wholly strange. On the LG, you can back off the processing until film based content does not look bad, while still having some interpolation for added smoothness.

Toshiba has had a hard time with viewing angle this year. The LG, though still narrow, beats the Toshiba by more than twice the possible viewing angles.

The LG has an extra set of analog ports (both a component and composite) over the Toshiba in this comparison. We also really liked the USB media port system on the LG, which is not limited to the 47LK520, but is available on all LG models.

If you compare the Toshiba 46G310U to the JVC JLE47BC3001, the JVC costs about $150 more. This extra dough provides some LED lighting for a thinner profile, better color performance, an extra HDMI port, and a wider viewing angle. The Toshiba has a drastically larger contrast ratio and a really solid set of colors for less money. It may not look as nice physically, but at this price point, consumers want a quality picture for their money, not flashy design. The Toshiba provides the better value in this comparison.

The Toshiba has a much better contrast ratio than the JVC here, done with a much deeper black level. The shadows will be much richer on the Toshiba than the JVC.

The JVC showed an almost perfect color temperature across the entire spectrum. The strong color curves, paired with a very accurate color gamut show a really strong overall color performance that proves to be superior to the Toshiba here.

The showed us some of the best motion processing we have seen in a while. The JVC BlackCrystal 3001 was strong, but not quite up to the task of besting the Toshiba.

The ($1199 MSRP) is a large and basic television. This year, we saw televisions cramming in so much new technology, from 3D imaging to internet connectivity and LED edgelighting, that it was beginning to look like you couldn"t find a regular, old-fashioned box that would show some quality images without the extras. Toshiba stripped the of all these additions to give consumers an ordinary television with strong performance in all the major categories.

We liked what we saw with this Toshiba. The contrast ratio was excellent, stemming from a very deep black level that did not require a diminished peak brightness. The color set was mostly fantastic and the motion processing was some of the best we have seen in a while.

There were a couple drawbacks though (you would expect some at this price). The 7W speakers are an inappropriate match to a 55"" screen. The force of the picture is not supported by the weak tinny sound from the internal speakers. You can remedy this quickly with an external set. The color temperature showed some severe errors, but only at the darkest end of the spectrum where images will be so dark as to not really have any color. The biggest offense was the poor viewing angle. Even for an LCD screen, the viewing angle has narrow written all over it. Although, with such a big screen, even a narrow viewing angle will cover quite a bit of the room.

All together, this is a high performance television in this price range. We do want to emphasize how large the entire piece is. You will need to measure before you bring it home, and you should consider that it will take over the room no matter where you put it. If the size and look really bother you, consider the very similar Toshiba SL412U for approximately the same price. Otherwise, you can"t go wrong with this big screen, at this little price.

“The L7200U is a strong value, and we suspect its distinctly Toshiba picture will find favor with consumers who want a slim television with a simple interface and friendly price tag.”

Toshiba L7200U series information:The review below is based on our time spent with the 55-inch L7200U TV. However, the observations made also apply to the 47-inch 47L7200U in the L7200U series. Toshiba says the sets offer identical features (save weight and dimensions) and should offer similar performance.

With Korean television titans Samsung and LG dominating headlines, garnering heaps of favorable reviews, and duking it out for consumer attention, consumers can easily overlook the other industry heavyweights still in contention with their own high-quality televisions. Although Sony’s and Toshiba’s profits may have eroded over the past few years, both of these Japanese manufacturers are turning out some appealing options with attractive design and signature picture quality.

The L7200U is Toshiba’s top-of-the-line LED backlit LCD television. As such, it offers most of the essential smart television-related bells and whistles you’d expect from today’s flagship televisions, wrapped in a nearly bezel-free package. What sets the L7200U series apart from the equally eye-catching competition is Toshiba’s unique flavor of picture and alluring price tag. The 55-inch model we review here has a street price anywhere from $400 to $600 less than the competing Samsung ES8000 and nearly $1,000 less than LG’s LM9600 series. The question is, however, can the L7200U hang tough when pixel meets the eye?

A quick glance at the dimensions of both the Toshiba L7200U and the super-svelte LG LM9600 reveal marginal differences in their dimensions. The L7200 is .20-inches deeper and about an inch taller (without the stand) than LG’s flagship (because of a curved border on the bottom of the Toshiba’s frame). But we didn’t see or feel the added inches as we pulled the L7200U from its box. The micro-thin strip of metallic trim that borders the television’s frame along the top and sides gives the L7200U a sleek and modern look. A half-inch black strip that borders the display panel prevents this TV from having that striking “all picture” look, but the strip all but disappears when you actually turn it on.

The L7200U weighs a slight 44.75 pounds without its stand, making it one of the lightest 55-inch sets we’ve evaluated. Installing the base, however, will add a few pounds because Toshiba, like Sony, doesn’t do plastic stands on its high-end televisions. The L7200U’s stand may not come off as looking futuristic, but the solid black-backed glass base is classy and functional. We’ll take that over chintzy faux-chrome plastic any day.

Along with the television, we found a remote control, batteries for the remote, a television stand and stand hardware and four pairs of Toshiba’s passive 3D glasses.

As we dug into the L7200U series, we started to expose the differences between Toshiba’s flagship and that of its competition. The L7200U comes without any kind of motion control, voice recognition or face recognition, and no camera or microphone is built in to support Skype — not that an app is available in this series for that anyway. Speaking of apps, the L7200U keeps it simple. We found apps for Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow, VUDU Apps (providing access to Facebook, Twitter, etc.), YouTube, Toshiba’s Media Guide and an electronic manual. We were disappointed to see Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Video missing. Otherwise, the Toshiba presented a refreshing change; we enjoyed not being inundated with pages upon pages of apps we’d never use.

Outside of the third-party apps, the L7200U offers access to content stored on a network, thanks to DLNA certification. A message app, calendar and Web browser round out Toshiba’s ePortal interface.

Aside from some smart television-related limitations, the L7200U reads like a premium television, offering 240Hz refresh rate using motion-smoothing technology (120Hz native panel), local dimming of the LED edge lighting, passive 3D, 2D-to-3D conversion, built-in Wi-Fi adapter, Ethernet port, Audyssey audio controls, three USB ports and four HDMI inputs.

The remote control Toshiba included with the television is classic Toshiba, and we like it. The remote’s gentle contour, combined with its curved button arrays, make for an ergonomically friendly device. The backlight on this remote is among the best we’ve seen, ensuring no one will ever have a problem finding the right button in a dark room. The multiple dedicated buttons for Netflix, other apps and for Toshiba’s app portal are redundant, but they make getting at the smart television apps easy.

In addition to the remote, we appreciated the inclusion of a wireless QWERTY keyboard for use with the set’s built-in web browser. Such a tool is essential for any web browsing experience, if only to enter URLs in the browser’s address bar. The keyboard has a mouse emulation option available which changes the functions of its directional keys so that it moves the cursor about the screen in more or less the same fashion as an actual mouse. Unfortunately, we found the motion to be a little sluggish and jerky. Still, it is superior to navigating from link to link with the directional pad. Our other disappointment was that the keyboard did not work from within any of the third-party apps such as Netflix and YouTube. Toshiba is not to blame for this, however. The app developers must integrate keyboard support into the apps and, sadly, they rarely do. Let’s hope this changes soon.

Real-world viewing confirmed our test pattern-based experience. We were again impressed with the set’s color reproduction, which we can best describe as vivid without being overblown. This is a characteristic we’ve always appreciated about Toshiba’s televisions.

Motion blur was never a problem for us, even with the “ClearScan 240Hz” feature disabled. We did notice, however, some motion judder, particularly during slow vertically panned screens from 24p content, which is typical for LCD televisions with motion-smoothing features disabled.

In general, we were pleased with the L7200U’s picture quality. It’s leaps and bounds ahead of any budget brand’s premium models, and competitive with that of premium brands. What really does it for us with this television, though, is its signature color reproduction. Granted, color reproduction is a matter of personal preference, but the L7200U’s color rendering stands as our favorite among the 2012 LCD television lineup.

Toshiba would have been silly not to make its flagship LED/LCD television a smart television. But the selection of apps is slightly limited, and while navigation is simple enough, the browser, messages and calendar apps are worthless. Most likely, we’d just use the app interface in a Blu-ray player or spring for a Roku box, Google TV box or some other media player.

With that said, the L7200U does passive 3D as well as any other passive 3D set we’ve tested. We found a couple of quirks to mention. First, the glasses included with the L7200U series aren’t fancy or particularly comfortable, but they are full-sized glasses. They get the job done. Second, expect to be confronted by the most drawn out – and at times flat-out hilarious – multi-page stream of glasses disclaimers we’ve ever seen: Don’t get up and walk around; don’t use them if you are prone to seizures, heart attacks, vertigo…the list goes on forever. The way Toshiba plays it, you’d think 3D was flat-out dangerous for everyone. We’re all for safety, but…wow.

Although Toshiba’s L7200U series lacks some features of the competition’s top-tier televisions, its picture performance matches that of more expensive models. The L7200U’s strongest attributes are its brightness and color production; its weak points are its edge-light bleed in the corners and limited selection of apps. Overall, the L7200U is a strong value, and we suspect its distinctly Toshiba picture will find favor with consumers who want a slim television with a simple interface and friendly price tag. If you’re looking for a more heavily featured set, the LG 55LM6700 will deliver, although at a slightly higher price.

Today only, July 8th,head over to Best Buy where you can find a very nice deal on Toshiba 55-Inch Fire TV. It is regularly priced at $480 but you can get it today for JUST $394.99 + FREE Shipping. See the deal here!

This Toshiba Fire TV Edition smart TV has a 2160p resolution that produces sharp visuals on the LCD screen, and the Wi-Fi connectivity lets you stream your favorite movies.

Toshiba has been a household name in the world of consumer tech for a long time, but today, some of the most well-known consumer Toshiba products are TVs – specifically, budget to mid-range TVs that compete with those from the likes of Amazon, Insignia, TCL and Hisense, to name a few.

Whether you’re in the US or UK is also a big deal in the Toshiba world, as the lines of TVs the company offers vary significantly between these two regions. For folks in the US, there are three different lines of TVs to choose between, while in the UK there are dozens of different Toshiba sets.

So, should you buy a Toshiba TV, and if so, what TVs should you consider? What features do Toshiba TVs have versus other competing brands, and how do they compare in terms of pricing? We’ve reviewed some Toshiba TVs, though nowhere near all of them, but there’s a lot we can all learn from looking at specs.

Across the US and the UK, Toshiba offers up a slew of budget TVs that will get the job done when it comes to providing modern TV features and being able to stream from whatever service without too much hassle. However, many TVs – even affordable ones – do this these days, so we’d check prices against similar-spec’d TVs from TCL or Hisense. Depending on the TV, you may well be able to find similar TVs for cheaper, especially if you find a decent sale.

In the US, especially if you’re a gamer, Toshiba’s M550 Series is definitely worth a look. With a 4K/120Hz panel equipped with full array local dimming that can go as low as just over $500 for the 75-inch model, that’s a superb deal if you’re looking for something cheap to take advantage of your new PS5 or Series X.

In the UK, the QA5D Series looks to be the most competitive offering from Toshiba, bringing a QLED display to the table for barely more than a similarly-spec’d LED Toshiba TV. While sometimes you might find another QLED cheaper on sale, the QA5D offers up strong specs, on paper, plus a competitive price point that’s hard to ignore when you’re looking for a TV.

In the US, Toshiba has three primary lines of television: a 4K smart TV line, the C350 Series; a 4K/120Hz gaming-focused smart TV line, the M550 Series; and an HD smart TV line, the V35 Series. Though, of course, there are other TVs, too.

As you might expect, these TVs scale up in terms of performance, price, and features. However, all of the US Toshiba TVs come with LED displays and support DTS Virtual:X. You’ll get familiar Fire TV smart functionality out of these TVs as well as VESA mounting support, too.

Outside of the V35 Series, the company’s TVs support a range of HDR technologies, including HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, depending on the model. Outside of Toshiba’s M550 line that comes with 120Hz support and full array local dimming, Toshiba TVs come with direct-lit 60Hz panels, though you will get some motion smoothing tech across all of Toshiba’s lines.

All of Toshiba’s US TVs are Fire TVs, so you’ll get Alexa support and access to all your favorite streaming services from within the bounds of the Amazon ecosystem. Plus, all of Toshiba’s US TVs are priced at the budget end of the market, with even the brand’s 75-inch sets selling for $600 or less on sale.

In general, Toshiba TVs tend to offer up similar features and similar prices to other budget brands, like Hisense, Insignia, TCL, or Amazon, but Toshiba can manage to offer up surprisingly good deals on feature-rich TVs you likely won’t be able to beat for value, especially when it comes to gaming.

The V35 Series is Toshiba’s most basic line of TV, and it only comes in two sizes. The 720p 32-inch V35 goes for $200, while the 1080p 43-inch V35 goes for $290. You can, however, often find both on sale for a lot cheaper. So, what"s in a V35?

Well, it’s pretty standard stuff. You get an LED panel, either HD for full HD, and a 60Hz refresh rate, while you’ll also get a few different audio technologies, including DTS Virtual:X, DTS-HD, and Dolby Audio. Plus, the V35 TVs are Fire TVs, so you’ll be getting all the familiar Fire TV functionality here as well, including Alexa support for hands-free navigation.

At retail, $200 for a 32-inch 720p TV or nearly $300 for a 1080p TV in 2022 is just not worth it. Recently, a 55-inch 4K/HDR TCL smart TV went on sale for $188 at Walmart, and that’s less money for a bigger TV with an exponentially higher resolution and better image quality. Put simply, you can do better.

On sale, though, you can grab a 32-inch V35 for around $100, and that’s not a terrible value if you just need a screen in your kitchen, for example, to throw up recipes on or use to play some video in the background while you’re cooking. Outside of those kinds of relatively fringe usecases, though, your money can go a lot further than the V35 with a little doing.

The C350 Series is Toshiba’s mid-range budget 4K Fire TV, offering up a bunch of different sizes, the full-fat 4K experience, HDR, and a ton of different audio technologies. The C350 Series starts off at $330 for the 43-inch and goes up to $900 for the 75-inch, though you can often find these sets with big discounts.

This is a modern set with competitive features for the budget side of the TV market in 2022, more so than the V35 Series at any rate, so if you’re looking for a set you can use to stream all the 4K/HDR content you can imagine without spending an arm and a leg, the C350 Series from Toshiba can get you there.

Generally, pricing on the C350 Series is reasonably competitive, falling in line with other brands like Insignia, but your money is best spent on the C350 Series when on sale. Spending $330 on a 43-inch TV in 2022, even a 4K/HDR set, is usually not too hard to beat, so we’d recommend waiting for a sale.

The M550 Series is Toshiba’s gaming-focused line of Fire TV, but it’s also the brand’s most interesting line of TV, packing in a slew of unique features at what are often surprisingly low prices across three different sizes.

Like the C350, the M550 brings a 4K LED display to the table, a ton of different audio technologies, and Dolby Vision + HDR10 support, but the M550 Series also packs in native 120Hz support, ALLM, HDR10+, and full array local dimming, too.

What’s more is that the M550 Series normally retails at $470 for the 55-inch, $600 for the 65-inch, and $850 for the 75-inch, but you can very regularly find these sets on sale. For example, at the time of writing, you can get a 55-inch for $350, a 65-inch for $430, and a 75-inch for $553.

In comparison, a 43-inch C350 without 120Hz, HDR10+, or full array local dimming normally retails for $330, while a 55-inch M550 with all of the above can be found on sale for just $20 more, giving you a massive upgrade in a ton of different areas for just a couple bucks. In general, the M550 Series offers up specs above and beyond what you’d normally expect from TVs aimed at folks on a budget, especially if you’re a gamer.

Normally, 4K/120Hz TVs often cost over a thousand dollars, and if you want a 75-inch 4K/120Hz TV to really get the most out of your PS5, that’ll often run you thousands of dollars. To be able to pick up a 75-inch 4K/120Hz for less than a thousand normally and for as little as $550 on sale is a strong value.

Across the pond, Toshiba brings a totally separate catalogue of televisions to market. In fact, in the UK, Toshiba makes exponentially more TVs than it does in the US. Whether it’s an Android TV you want, a borderless TV, a QLED set or anything else, Toshiba UK probably has what you’re after.

In 2022, Toshiba UK is divided up into three major lines: the QA5D Series, the UF3D Series, and the LK3C Series. There are other 2022 Toshiba TVs, but the main difference here comes down to the smart TV OS you prefer.

As you might expect, these TVs scale up in terms of features and price. However, outside of the QA5D Series, you’ll be getting LED panels, and across all of Toshiba’s UK TVs you’ll get smart functionality. You’ll also Dolby Audio and DTS on all these TVs as well as VESA mounting, while the QA5D Series and UF3D Series also come with Onkyo speakers and Dolby Atmos.

All of Toshiba UK’s 2022 TVs are 60Hz TVs, while each line also supports HDR10, and the QA5D Series and UF3D Series support Dolby Vision, too, as well as the TRU Picture Engine that offers up motion smoothing, upscaling, and more.

UK Toshiba TVs target the budget TV market, so you can expect low prices comparatively across all of UK Toshiba TVs, starting out at just £229 for the brand’s cheapest line of TVs, the LK3C Series of TVs.

The LK3C Series is Toshiba UK’s most basic line of 2022 TV. It comes in two sizes, 32-inch and 43-inch, and is a 1080p HD line, not a 4K one. It does come with smarts courtesy of Toshiba itself with its own OS that’ll let you stream whatever content you’d like across a plethora of different services. Plus, you can even watch TikToks on your LK3C TV.

You’re also getting Dolby Audio and HDR10 support, which is not always a given when it comes to budget 1080p TVs, so that’s a welcome addition. The LK3C starts off at £229 for the 32-inch, so you won’t be breaking the bank, but as far as value goes, these TVs could be better.

Toshiba’s UK UF3D line of TVs is the brand’s standard flagship 4K 2022 TV. This line of TV comes with smarts courtesy of Amazon’s Fire OS, 4K support, HDR10 and Dolby Vision, and a slew of audio technologies and Onkyo speakers.

The UF3D line starts off at £369 for the 43-inch set, and scales up the bigger the size you’re interested in. This pricing is generally in line with what you’ll find at the budget end of the 4K market, but you can fine better values.

As mentioned above, 4K Samsung sets can often be found on sale for around £350, and other budget brands like TCL can offer up 4K sets for less than £300. So, unless you’re a big fan of the Toshiba brand or can’t find a better deal, outside of a sale, you’ll generally have the option of spending less.

Toshiba’s UK QA5D Series is its most interesting, most premium line of TV that brings QLED technology to the table for the first time for Toshiba UK TVs. These TVs come in a variety of sizes, support 4K, smarts courtesy of Toshiba’s own OS, and a range of HDR and audio technologies. And for Toshiba’s most expensive 2022 UK TV, it’s not much more expensive than the UF3D.

How much are they, exactly? Well, the QA5Ds start off at just £399 for the 43-inch model, which comes in at just £30 more than the 43-inch UF3D. So, that’s just £30 more for an upgrade from an LED panel to a full-fat QLED panel. Of course, we’d have to review the QA5D to give you details on its picture performance, but QLED is certainly a superior display technology.

In terms of value, the QA5D Series is priced competitively with other budget QLEDs. In general, you’ll see other budget QLEDs for around the same money, like TCL’s CF630K QLED TV that goes for £379 for the 50-inch model. If you find a QA5D on sale, you may well be getting some of the best value you can get with a budget QLED, but even at retail, it’s generally competitive compared to what you’ll see from other brands.

If you want a modern 4K TV with some fairly premium display tech on top of easy access to streaming all your favorite shows and movies, you could do a lot worse than the Toshiba QA5D Series. If you’re a gamer, you might want to spend your money on a set with 120Hz or VRR support over going for a QLED TV, but if you’re looking for a good way to watch content, the QA5D is worth a look.

In their place, we now have more models from up-and-coming brands such as Hisense and TCL, as well as from a few retailer-specific brands such as Insignia (Best Buy’s house brand) and Toshiba (sold through Amazon and Best Buy). TVs from these brands have been gaining market share at the expense of other lesser-known brands that were once regularly included in our analysis.

Major brands dominate the top of this slice of our TV ratings, which include 70-, 75-, 77-, 82-, and 85-inch TVs. That list now includes TCL, which has become one of the three top-selling brands in the U.S.

The average price figures we show are a bit higher than the average for all big TVs on the market. That’s both because the largest sets carry a premium and because CR tends to purchase a lot of expensive, high-end sets. That allows us to test the latest features, such as Mini LED backlights in LCD/LED TVs, which can help boost contrast and reduce halos, and high dynamic range (HDR), which can produce brighter, more vibrant images.

We test these flagship models from all the brands, but with major brands there is a much greater difference in pricing between the least and most expensive sets they offer. For example, for TCL there’s a $600 difference between the cheapest ($700) and priciest ($1,300) 75-inch TVs in our current ratings. With Samsung, that difference is dramatic: $1,900. (See the best big-screen TV bargains for sets 70 inches and larger.)

In this size category, we again see much greater differences in pricing between the least and most expensive sets from major brands than from smaller players. For example, there’s a $600 difference between the cheapest ($400) and priciest ($1,000) 65-inch Hisense TVs in our current ratings. With Samsung and Sony, that difference is a whopping $2,400. One reason for Samsung’s large spread is the debut of itsfirst QD OLED TV ($3,000), which is now in our ratings (though it arrived too late this year for our statistical analysis). Sony TVs tend to be expensive in part because the company offers several OLED TVs, which tend to cost more, and because it stopped making lower-end LED/LCD sets. (See the best 65-inch TVs under $1,000.)

As in the 70-inch size category, Hisense, TCL, and Vizio appear to be good options for those on tighter budgets. Their better-performing sets tend to be pricier but still less expensive than comparable TVs from LG, Samsung, and Sony. Hisense has the best balance of price and performance of the group. But given the wide differences in performance and price between the best- and worst-performing models within these brands, you should look at specific models to determine the best value.

If you’re shopping for a 55- to 60-inch set, you’ll see a particularly wide range of prices and brands. That’s because some TVs this size are relatively bare-bones when it comes to features, while others come loaded with lots of features. These can include 120Hz refresh rates, full-array LED backlights with local dimming, more effective HDR performance, and special gaming features, such as low-latency modes and variable refresh rates.

Average prices go from a low of $342 (for Toshiba, which makes Fire TV Edition sets sold at Amazon and Best Buy) to a high of $1,034 (Sony’s average). As we note above, Sony focuses on higher-priced sets, and both Sony and LG’s average prices are pulled up by their OLED sets—these TVs can look great, but they tend to cost more than all but the very best LED/LCD models.

Two years ago, Vizio began offering OLED TVs, but that hasn’t yet had a big impact on its average price, because the majority of its sales are still less expensive LED/LCD TVs.

In term of Overall Score, there’s a bit of drop-off after LG. Some models from Hisense, Insignia (Best Buy’s house brand), TCL, Toshiba, and Vizio might be worth considering for less finicky viewers who are on an even tighter budget. As we mentioned earlier, some higher-end Hisense and TCL sets deliver very satisfying overall picture quality and enjoyable HDR. Many sets from the other brands do well for overall picture quality, but the trade-off is a less satisfying HDR experience. Insignia seems to be a decent choice for budget-minded consumers, earning a higher average Overall Score than Toshiba despite having a lower average price.

Of these three brands, LG sets seem particularly attractive, with a high Overall Score and an average price below these two other brands’ average prices. In last year’s analysis, however, LG’s average price was much closer to the lower-tier brands’. This could be in part because of LG offering 48-inch OLED TVs. This year, there’s a bigger price spread between the major and secondary brands. That could be because major brands tend to adopt the newest technologies first.

In fact, the price range is fairly narrow in this size category once you get past those top three brands. Hisense and TCL emerge as good possible options for those on the tightest TV budgets because their average price is actually lower than a few brands’, such as Vizio and Toshiba, that have lower average scores.

These days, 32-inch TVs have largely been commoditized; most are either 720p or 1080p regular high-definition TVs rather than 4K models, and there are even some low-priced basic models that lack a smart TV feature.

You may notice that Samsung is missing from this size category; there weren’t enough tested models in our analysis this year for it to be included. It’s the only brand in our current ratings that offers 32-inch 4K TVs with HDR, but those sets are more expensive, and consumers don’t seem to want to pay for the higher resolution in sets this small. Samsung does offer a number of less expensive HD sets, which are in our ratings. Shoppers seem to buying based on price rather than brand.

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. Liquid crystals do not emit light directlybacklight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome.seven-segment displays, as in a digital clock, are all good examples of devices with these displays. They use the same basic technology, except that arbitrary images are made from a matrix of small pixels, while other displays have larger elements. LCDs can either be normally on (positive) or off (negative), depending on the polarizer arrangement. For example, a character positive LCD with a backlight will have black lettering on a background that is the color of the backlight, and a character negative LCD will have a black background with the letters being of the same color as the backlight. Optical filters are added to white on blue LCDs to give them their characteristic appearance.

LCDs are used in a wide range of applications, including LCD televisions, computer monitors, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, and indoor and outdoor signage. Small LCD screens are common in LCD projectors and portable consumer devices such as digital cameras, watches, digital clocks, calculators, and mobile telephones, including smartphones. LCD screens are also used on consumer electronics products such as DVD players, video game devices and clocks. LCD screens have replaced heavy, bulky cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays in nearly all applications. LCD screens are available in a wider range of screen sizes than CRT and plasma displays, with LCD screens available in sizes ranging from tiny digital watches to very large television receivers. LCDs are slowly being replaced by OLEDs, which can be easily made into different shapes, and have a lower response time, wider color gamut, virtually infinite color contrast and viewing angles, lower weight for a given display size and a slimmer profile (because OLEDs use a single glass or plastic panel whereas LCDs use two glass panels; the thickness of the panels increases with size but the increase is more noticeable on LCDs) and potentially lower power consumption (as the display is only "on" where needed and there is no backlight). OLEDs, however, are more expensive for a given display size due to the very expensive electroluminescent materials or phosphors that they use. Also due to the use of phosphors, OLEDs suffer from screen burn-in and there is currently no way to recycle OLED displays, whereas LCD panels can be recycled, although the technology required to recycle LCDs is not yet widespread. Attempts to maintain the competitiveness of LCDs are quantum dot displays, marketed as SUHD, QLED or Triluminos, which are displays with blue LED backlighting and a Quantum-dot enhancement film (QDEF) that converts part of the blue light into red and green, offering similar performance to an OLED display at a lower price, but the quantum dot layer that gives these displays their characteristics can not yet be recycled.

Since LCD screens do not use phosphors, they rarely suffer image burn-in when a static image is displayed on a screen for a long time, e.g., the table frame for an airline flight schedule on an indoor sign. LCDs are, however, susceptible to image persistence.battery-powered electronic equipment more efficiently than a CRT can be. By 2008, annual sales of televisions with LCD screens exceeded sales of CRT units worldwide, and the CRT became obsolete for most purposes.

Each pixel of an LCD typically consists of a layer of molecules aligned between two transparent electrodes, often made of Indium-Tin oxide (ITO) and two polarizing filters (parallel and perpendicular polarizers), the axes of transmission of which are (in most of the cases) perpendicular to each other. Without the liquid crystal between the polarizing filters, light passing through the first filter would be blocked by the second (crossed) polarizer. Before an electric field is applied, the orientation of the liquid-crystal molecules is determined by the alignment at the surfaces of electrodes. In a twisted nematic (TN) device, the surface alignment directions at the two electrodes are perpendicular to each other, and so the molecules arrange themselves in a helical structure, or twist. This induces the rotation of the polarization of the incident light, and the device appears gray. If the applied voltage is large enough, the liquid crystal molecules in the center of the layer are almost completely untwisted and the polarization of the incident light is not rotated as it passes through the liquid crystal layer. This light will then be mainly polarized perpendicular to the second filter, and thus be blocked and the pixel will appear black. By controlling the voltage applied across the liquid crystal layer in each pixel, light can be allowed to pass through in varying amounts thus constituting different levels of gray.

The chemical formula of the liquid crystals used in LCDs may vary. Formulas may be patented.Sharp Corporation. The patent that covered that specific mixture expired.

Most color LCD systems use the same technique, with color filters used to generate red, green, and blue subpixels. The LCD color filters are made with a photolithography process on large glass sheets that are later glued with other glass sheets containing a TFT array, spacers and liquid crystal, creating several color LCDs that are then cut from one another and laminated with polarizer sheets. Red, green, blue and black photoresists (resists) are used. All resists contain a finely ground powdered pigment, with particles being just 40 nanometers across. The black resist is the first to be applied; this will create a black grid (known in the industry as a black matrix) that will separate red, green and blue subpixels from one another, increasing contrast ratios and preventing light from leaking from one subpixel onto other surrounding subpixels.Super-twisted nematic LCD, where the variable twist between tighter-spaced plates causes a varying double refraction birefringence, thus changing the hue.

The optical effect of a TN device in the voltage-on state is far less dependent on variations in the device thickness than that in the voltage-off state. Because of this, TN displays with low information content and no backlighting are usually operated between crossed polarizers such that they appear bright with no voltage (the eye is much more sensitive to variations in the dark state than the bright state). As most of 2010-era LCDs are used in television sets, monitors and smartphones, they have high-resolution matrix arrays of pixels to display arbitrary images using backlighting with a dark background. When no image is displayed, different arrangements are used. For this purpose, TN LCDs are operated between parallel polarizers, whereas IPS LCDs feature crossed polarizers. In many applications IPS LCDs have replaced TN LCDs, particularly in smartphones. Both the liquid crystal material and the alignment layer material contain ionic compounds. If an electric field of one particular polarity is applied for a long period of time, this ionic material is attracted to the surfaces and degrades the device performance. This is avoided either by applying an alternating current or by reversing the polarity of the electric field as the device is addressed (the response of the liquid crystal layer is identical, regardless of the polarity of the applied field).

Displays for a small number of individual digits or fixed symbols (as in digital watches and pocket calculators) can be implemented with independent electrodes for each segment.alphanumeric or variable graphics displays are usually implemented with pixels arranged as a matrix consisting of electrically connected rows on one side of the LC layer and columns on the other side, which makes it possible to address each pixel at the intersections. The general method of matrix addressing consists of sequentially addressing one side of the matrix, for example by selecting the rows one-by-one and applying the picture information on the other side at the columns row-by-row. For details on the various matrix addressing schemes see passive-matrix and active-matrix addressed LCDs.

LCDs, along with OLED displays, are manufactured in cleanrooms borrowing techniques from semiconductor manufacturing and using large sheets of glass whose size has increased over time. Several displays are manufactured at the same time, and then cut from the sheet of glass, also known as the mother glass or LCD glass substrate. The increase in size allows more displays or larger displays to be made, just like with increasing wafer sizes in semiconductor manufacturing. The glass sizes are as follows:

Until Gen 8, manufacturers would not agree on a single mother glass size and as a result, different manufacturers would use slightly different glass sizes for the same generation. Some manufacturers have adopted Gen 8.6 mother glass sheets which are only slightly larger than Gen 8.5, allowing for more 50 and 58 inch LCDs to be made per mother glass, specially 58 inch LCDs, in which case 6 can be produced on a Gen 8.6 mother glass vs only 3 on a Gen 8.5 mother glass, significantly reducing waste.AGC Inc., Corning Inc., and Nippon Electric Glass.

In 1922, Georges Friedel described the structure and properties of liquid crystals and classified them in three types (nematics, smectics and cholesterics). In 1927, Vsevolod Frederiks devised the electrically switched light valve, called the Fréedericksz transition, the essential effect of all LCD technology. In 1936, the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company patented the first practical application of the technology, "The Liquid Crystal Light Valve". In 1962, the first major English language publication Molecular Structure and Properties of Liquid Crystals was published by Dr. George W. Gray.RCA found that liquid crystals had some interesting electro-optic characteristics and he realized an electro-optical effect by generating stripe-patterns in a thin layer of liquid crystal material by the application of a voltage. This effect is based on an electro-hydrodynamic instability forming what are now called "Williams domains" inside the liquid crystal.

In the late 1960s, pioneering work on liquid crystals was undertaken by the UK"s Royal Radar Establishment at Malvern, England. The team at RRE supported ongoing work by George William Gray and his team at the University of Hull who ultimately discovered the cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals, which had correct stability and temperature properties for application in LCDs.

The idea of a TFT-based liquid-crystal display (LCD) was conceived by Bernard Lechner of RCA Laboratories in 1968.dynamic scattering mode (DSM) LCD that used standard discrete MOSFETs.

On December 4, 1970, the twisted nematic field effect (TN) in liquid crystals was filed for patent by Hoffmann-LaRoche in Switzerland, (Swiss patent No. 532 261) with Wolfgang Helfrich and Martin Schadt (then working for the Central Research Laboratories) listed as inventors.Brown, Boveri & Cie, its joint venture partner at that time, which produced TN displays for wristwatches and other applications during the 1970s for the international markets including the Japanese electronics industry, which soon produced the first digital quartz wristwatches with TN-LCDs and numerous other products. James Fergason, while working with Sardari Arora and Alfred Saupe at Kent State University Liquid Crystal Institute, filed an identical patent in the United States on April 22, 1971.ILIXCO (now LXD Incorporated), produced LCDs based on the TN-effect, which soon superseded the poor-quality DSM types due to improvements of lower operating voltages and lower power consumption. Tetsuro Hama and Izuhiko Nishimura of Seiko received a US patent dated February 1971, for an electronic wristwatch incorporating a TN-LCD.

In 1972, the concept of the active-matrix thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display panel was prototyped in the United States by T. Peter Brody"s team at Westinghouse, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.Westinghouse Research Laboratories demonstrated the first thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD).high-resolution and high-quality electronic visual display devices use TFT-based active matrix displays.active-matrix liquid-crystal display (AM LCD) in 1974, and then Brody coined the term "active matrix" in 1975.

In 1972 North American Rockwell Microelectronics Corp introduced the use of DSM LCDs for calculators for marketing by Lloyds Electronics Inc, though these required an internal light source for illumination.Sharp Corporation followed with DSM LCDs for pocket-sized calculators in 1973Seiko and its first 6-digit TN-LCD quartz wristwatch, and Casio"s "Casiotron". Color LCDs based on Guest-Host interaction were invented by a team at RCA in 1968.TFT LCDs similar to the prototypes developed by a Westinghouse team in 1972 were patented in 1976 by a team at Sharp consisting of Fumiaki Funada, Masataka Matsuura, and Tomio Wada,

In 1983, researchers at Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC) Research Center, Switzerland, invented the passive matrix-addressed LCDs. H. Amstutz et al. were listed as inventors in the corresponding patent applications filed in Switzerland on July 7, 1983, and October 28, 1983. Patents were granted in Switzerland CH 665491, Europe EP 0131216,

The first color LCD televisions were developed as handheld televisions in Japan. In 1980, Hattori Seiko"s R&D group began development on color LCD pocket televisions.Seiko Epson released the first LCD television, the Epson TV Watch, a wristwatch equipped with a small active-matrix LCD television.dot matrix TN-LCD in 1983.Citizen Watch,TFT LCD.computer monitors and LCD televisions.3LCD projection technology in the 1980s, and licensed it for use in projectors in 1988.compact, full-color LCD projector.

In 1990, under different titles, inventors conceived electro optical effects as alternatives to twisted nematic field effect LCDs (TN- and STN- LCDs). One approach was to use interdigital electrodes on one glass substrate only to produce an electric field essentially parallel to the glass substrates.Germany by Guenter Baur et al. and patented in various countries.Hitachi work out various practical details of the IPS technology to interconnect the thin-film transistor array as a matrix and to avoid undesirable stray fields in between pixels.

Hitachi also improved the viewing angle dependence further by optimizing the shape of the electrodes (Super IPS). NEC and Hitachi become early manufacturers of active-matrix addressed LCDs based on the IPS technology. This is a milestone for implementing large-screen LCDs having acceptable visual performance for flat-panel computer monitors and television screens. In 1996, Samsung developed the optical patterning technique that enables multi-domain LCD. Multi-domain and In Plane Switching subsequently remain the dominant LCD designs through 2006.South Korea and Taiwan,

In 2007 the image quality of LCD televisions surpassed the image quality of cathode-ray-tube-based (CRT) TVs.LCD TVs were projected to account 50% of the 200 million TVs to be shipped globally in 2006, according to Displaybank.Toshiba announced 2560 × 1600 pixels on a 6.1-inch (155 mm) LCD panel, suitable for use in a tablet computer,transparent and flexible, but they cannot emit light without a backlight like OLED and microLED, which are other technologies that can also be made flexible and transparent.

In 2016, Panasonic developed IPS LCDs with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, rivaling OLEDs. This technology was later put into mass production as dual layer, dual panel or LMCL (Light Modulating Cell Layer) LCDs. The technology uses 2 liquid crystal layers instead of one, and may be used along with a mini-LED backlight and quantum dot sheets.

Since LCDs produce no light of their own, they require external light to produce a visible image.backlight. Active-matrix LCDs are almost always backlit.Transflective LCDs combine the features of a backlit transmissive display and a reflective display.

CCFL: The LCD panel is lit either by two cold cathode fluorescent lamps placed at opposite edges of the display or an array of parallel CCFLs behind larger displays. A diffuser (made of PMMA acrylic plastic, also known as a wave or light guide/guiding plateinverter to convert whatever DC voltage the device uses (usually 5 or 12 V) to ≈1000 V needed to light a CCFL.

EL-WLED: The LCD panel is lit by a row of white LEDs placed at one or more edges of the screen. A light diffuser (light guide plate, LGP) is then used to spread the light evenly across the whole display, similarly to edge-lit CCFL LCD backlights. The diffuser is made out of either PMMA plastic or special glass, PMMA is used in most cases because it is rugged, while special glass is used when the thickness of the LCD is of primary concern, because it doesn"t expand as much when heated or exposed to moisture, which allows LCDs to be just 5mm thick. Quantum dots may be placed on top of the diffuser as a quantum dot enhancement film (QDEF, in which case they need a layer to be protected from heat and humidity) or on the color filter of the LCD, replacing the resists that are normally used.

WLED array: The LCD panel is lit by a full array of white LEDs placed behind a diffuser behind the panel. LCDs that use this implementation will usually have the ability to dim or completely turn off the LEDs in the dark areas of the image being displayed, effectively increasing the contrast ratio of the display. The precision with which this can be done will depend on the number of dimming zones of the display. The more dimming zones, the more precise the dimming, with less obvious blooming artifacts which are visible as dark grey patches surrounded by the unlit areas of the LCD. As of 2012, this design gets most of its use from upscale, larger-screen LCD televisions.

RGB-LED array: Similar to the WLED array, except the panel is lit by a full array of RGB LEDs. While displays lit with white LEDs usually have a poorer color gamut than CCFL lit displays, panels lit with RGB LEDs have very wide color gamuts. This implementation is most popular on professional graphics editing LCDs. As of 2012, LCDs in this category usually cost more than $1000. As of 2016 the cost of this category has drastically reduced and such LCD televisions obtained same price levels as the former 28" (71 cm) CRT based categories.

Monochrome LEDs: such as red, green, yellow or blue LEDs are used in the small passive monochrome LCDs typically used in clocks, watches and small appliances.

Today, most LCD screens are being designed with an LED backlight instead of the traditional CCFL backlight, while that backlight is dynamically controlled with the video information (dynamic backlight control). The combination with the dynamic backlight control, invented by Philips researchers Douglas Stanton, Martinus Stroomer and Adrianus de Vaan, simultaneously increases the dynamic range of the display system (also marketed as HDR, high dynamic range television or FLAD, full-area local area dimming).

The LCD backlight systems are made highly efficient by applying optical films such as prismatic structure (prism sheet) to gain the light into the desired viewer directions and reflective polarizing films that recycle the polarized light that was formerly absorbed by the first polarizer of the LCD (invented by Philips researchers Adrianus de Vaan and Paulus Schaareman),

Due to the LCD layer that generates the desired high resolution images at flashing video speeds using very low power electronics in combination with LED based backlight technologies, LCD technology has become the dominant display technology for products such as televisions, desktop monitors, notebooks, tablets, smartphones and mobile phones. Although competing OLED technology is pushed to the market, such OLED displays do not feature the HDR capabilities like LCDs in combination with 2D LED backlight technologies have, reason why the annual market of such LCD-based products is still growing faster (in volume) than OLED-based products while the efficiency of LCDs (and products like portable computers, mobile phones and televisions) may even be further improved by preventing the light to be absorbed in the colour filters of the LCD.

A standard television receiver screen, a modern LCD panel, has over six million pixels, and they are all individually powered by a wire network embedded in the screen. The fine wires, or pathways, form a grid with vertical wires across the whole screen on one side of the screen and horizontal wires across the whole screen on the other side of the screen. To this grid each pixel has a positive connection on one side and a negative connection on the other side. So the total amount of wires needed for a 1080p display is 3 x 1920 going vertically and 1080 going horizontally for a total of 6840 wires horizontally and vertically. That"s three for red, green and blue and 1920 columns of pixels for each color for a total of 5760 wires going vertically and 1080 rows of wires going horizontally. For a panel that is 28.8 inches (73 centimeters) wide, that means a wire density of 200 wires per inch along the horizontal edge.

The LCD panel is powered by LCD drivers that are carefully matched up with the edge of the LCD panel at the factory level. The drivers may be installed using several methods, the most common of which are COG (Chip-On-Glass) and TAB (Tape-automated bonding) These same principles apply also for smartphone screens that are much smaller than TV screens.anisotropic conductive film or, for lower densities, elastomeric connectors.

Monochrome and later color passive-matrix LCDs were standard in most early laptops (although a few used plasma displaysGame Boyactive-matrix became standard on all laptops. The commercially unsuccessful Macintosh Portable (released in 1989) was one of the first to use an active-matrix display (though still monochrome). Passive-matrix LCDs are still used in the 2010s for applications less demanding than laptop computers and TVs, such as inexpensive calculators. In particular, these are used on portable devices where less information content needs to be displayed, lowest power consumption (no backlight) and low cost are desired or readability in direct sunlight is needed.

STN LCDs have to be continuously refreshed by alternating pulsed voltages of one polarity during one frame and pulses of opposite polarity during the next frame. Individual pixels are addressed by the corresponding row and column circuits. This type of display is called response times and poor contrast are typical of passive-matrix addressed LCDs with too many pixels and driven according to the "Alt & Pleshko" drive scheme. Welzen and de Vaan also invented a non RMS drive scheme enabling to drive STN displays with video rates and enabling to show smooth moving video images on an STN display.

Bistable LCDs do not require continuous refreshing. Rewriting is only required for picture information changes. In 1984 HA van Sprang and AJSM de Vaan invented an STN type display that could be operated in a bistable mode, enabling extremely high resolution images up to 4000 lines or more using only low voltages.

High-resolution color displays, such as modern LCD computer monitors and televisions, use an active-matrix structure. A matrix of thin-film transistors (TFTs) is added to the electrodes in contact with the LC layer. Each pixel has its own dedicated transistor, allowing each column line to access one pixel. When a row line is selected, all of the column lines are connected to a row of pixels and voltages corresponding to the picture information are driven onto all of the column lines. The row line is then deactivated and the next row line is selected. All of the row lines are selected in sequence during a refresh operation. Active-matrix addressed displays look brighter and sharper than passive-matrix addressed displays of the same size, and generally have quicker response times, producing much better images. Sharp produces bistable reflective LCDs with a 1-bit SRAM cell per pixel that only requires small amounts of power to maintain an image.

Segment LCDs can also have color by using Field Sequential Color (FSC LCD). This kind of displays have a high speed passive segment LCD panel with an RGB backlight. The backlight quickly changes color, making it appear white to the naked eye. The LCD panel is synchronized with the backlight. For example, to make a segment appear red, the segment is only turned ON when the backlight is red, and to make a segment appear magenta, the segment is turned ON when the backlight is blue, and it continues to be ON while the backlight becomes red, and it turns OFF when the backlight becomes green. To make a segment appear black, the segment is always turned ON. An FSC LCD divides a color image into 3 images (one Red, one Green and one Blue) and it displays them in order. Due to persistence of vision, the 3 monochromatic images appear as one color image. An FSC LCD needs an LCD panel with a refresh rate of 180 Hz, and the response time is reduced to just 5 milliseconds when compared with normal STN LCD panels which have a response time of 16 milliseconds.

Samsung introduced UFB (Ultra Fine & Bright) displays back in 2002, utilized the super-birefringent effect. It has the luminance, color gamut, and most of the contrast of a TFT-LCD, but only consumes as much power as an STN display, according to Samsung. It was being used in a variety of Samsung cellular-telephone models produced until late 2006, when Samsung stopped producing UFB displays. UFB displays were also used in certain models of LG mobile phones.

In-plane switching is an LCD technology that aligns the liquid crystals in a plane parallel to the glass substrates. In this method, the electrical field is applied through opposite electrodes on the same glass substrate, so that the liquid crystals can be reoriented (switched) essentially in the same plane, although fringe fields inhibit a homogeneous reorientation. This requires two transistors for each pixel instead of the single transistor needed for a standard thin-film transistor (TFT) display. The IPS technology is used in everything from televisions, computer monitors, and even wearable devices, especially almost all LCD smartphone panels are IPS/FFS mode. IPS displays belong to the LCD panel family screen types. The other two types are VA and TN. Before LG Enhanced IPS
